Personal Development

How do we move from a scarcity mindset to abundance, and why is it important? Of course, we all want to live happy and fulfilled lives. We want to embrace opportunities and enjoy success – however we define that for ourselves. So abundance sounds more aligned with those goals than scarcity, doesn’t it?

Your beliefs are powerful tools that can help you realize your full potential. Or your beliefs can hold you back, setting artificial boundaries of “reasonable” around you so you don’t reach for what’s actually possible. That is exactly why it’s so important to overcome limiting beliefs.

Are you a people pleaser? I had this conversation with a client recently. She didn’t think she was until we discussed what people pleasing actually looks like.

As we went through the list of people pleasing behaviors, her eyes got wider and her mouth dropped open. “Wow,” she said. “I thought I was just being nice!”

And that’s what most people pleasers think. I should know because I’m a recovering people pleaser myself.

Boy, have I been in this place.

I kept asking myself, “Should I do it? What are the signs that it’s time to quit my job?”

I hear it all the time… “I don’t have any skills,” or “I’m not an expert in anything!” And those words almost always come out of the mouths of very smart, talented, Gen X women who have so much to offer the world. I was one of them. Maybe you are, too. The problem isn’t you. It’s that no one showed you the simple ways to find your hidden talents.
